Abstract: Globus offers a suite of data and user management capabilities to the research community, encompassing data transfer and sharing, user identity and authorization, and data publication. Globus capabilities are accessible via both a web browser and REST APIs. Web access allows Globus to address the needs of research labs through a software-as-a-service model; the newer REST APIs address the needs of developers of research services, who can now use Globus as a platform, outsourcing complex user and data management tasks to Globus cloud-hosted services. Here we review Globus capabilities and outline how it is being applied as a platform for scientific services.
